(9/15/2007)
U212 is an advanced modern submarine. It has an air-indepent propulsion system. This system allows U212 to patrol underwater for many days. Type 212 was designed and developed by German HDW.

In addition to basic sub components such as linkage, drive shaft, this sub also has a proportionally controlled ballast tank, a working periscope and port/starboard light via optical fiber.

Here are some of U212's RC conversion steps:( Technical CD ROM has more detail)

1. Fabricating and installing functional rudders, stabilizer, propeller shaft... U212's "X" tail configuration is a bit tricky. GWS mixer was used for X-tail mixing

2. LED via Optical fiber for port/starboard light. ON/OFF by PUREMTC ESW-1 RC switch

3. Simple device for raising or lowering periscope

4. Proportionally controlled ballast tank(WAPBS) for U212.(Controlled by Puremtc PBC-1 proportional ballast tank controller.)

5. U212's SD-WPCPU. (Servos and propulsion motor are in rectangular compartment)

6. SD-WPCPU inside U212
